[Community-Discuss] Call for AFRINIC’s registry service migration to other RIRs

[Brian Sowers]

The effect from the NRO activating their stability fund for AFRINIC’s behalf will be twofold. First, it will certainly alleviate—in a disclosed and stable manner—AFRINIC’s financial shortcomings to allow for it to continue operations. Second, the call for help from NRO certainly draws more attention to AFRINIC’s current shady financial situation. A look at AFRINIC’s books will quite possibly unveil what the ‘alternate means of funding’ were. At that point, it is up to the discretion of the powers that be what happens then. Like many in this thread, my wish is that AFRINIC’s shady dealings by its leadership get exposed for the community’s betterment.
